We travelled to this resort in April 2023 for 5 nights as a family. I was really looking forward to this as the reviews and hotel looked great! I am going to give a very honest account as to why I am only giving this a 3 star review. You will find a more comprehensive review on my blog site. I will begin with the positives: Rooms: We arrived in the afternoon and had booked two upper sala rooms requesting them to be next to eachother, which they were. Unfortunately sea view had been unavailable. I must say the rooms were lovely! Equipped with all amenities from bottles of water, bathroom supplies, beach bags provided as well as slippers, robes and hard soled sandals too. There is also coffee machine/tea. The upper sala rooms have a gorgeous skylight over the bath, which is not present in the lower sala rooms. Food (initial impression): After freshening up we headed down to Naga terrace restaurant, and ordered a selection of starters. I must say everything was delicious! Deep fried chicken wings, veg tempura, wrapped shrimp with noodle. We were so impressed and were now looking forward to a buffet breakfast spread the next morning (as stated on their website). Beach: Stunning beach, the view of the beach from any angle is just gorgeous. I did read a few mixed reviews before booking, but I had no issues at all. The tide does come in – times of this noted at the towel stand. When the tide is out, yes you can see rocks, but just walk further into the sea, and honestly its soo lovely! Warm ocean like bath water and soft sand. The water is quite clear, there was no sea****, and no sight of any jelly fish on our trip either. You can walk quite far out and it was still only up to our knees. I would most definitely visit this beach again. Immediately past some small rocks there is the Beyond Krabi resort and beach is gorgeous too, soft white sand (but the sea there has more waves). Nakamanda is in a cove so the water is ever so gentle and calm! I loved it. You cannot however, sunbathe on the beach but there are sunbeds etc are instead on the resort just above the ocean, and I found this completely fine (it just comes down to personal preference). Resort Layout: Beautiful layout, everywhere you walk you are surrounded my plants, trees and nature, it really does make it a lovely experience. There are a lot of steps, which can get annoying if you are walking to the lobby a lot, so instead if you go to the towel stand, there is a pathway on the right side, you can walk up there and come straight up to the road (Nakamanda entrance will be on your right) – but I found this a much quicker and easier way to the lobby/road (access to other restaurants etc). We didn’t visit the spa, but did have a peek and this looked fine. The resort overall is clean, beautiful and well kept. Pool: The pool is lovely, warm and comfortable temperature. Close to the sea, so like an infinity pool layout. Service is wonderful, and someone always cleans away towels and bring
Excellent
